H.R. Harrison is the penname of an unfortunate soul whose ancestors opted to Americanize pronunciation… but not spelling. She is a linguist and ESL (English as Second Language) teacher by trade, and spends a lot of time thinking about communication, language, and how words… word. She has a love for fantasy, mythos, and genre subversion, and has a tendency to fall into research pits while trying to write. Therefore, she knows a lot of random trivia about a lot of random topics. Her hobbies include sleeping, getting far too invested in possibly queer fictional characters, and, recently, marveling at the weirdness of Madame d'Aulnoy's contes de fées in the original French. Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name
